In the beginning some pages made the google chrome tab freeze, I reported this bug and it was solved really quickly! Pros I bought Hexowatch purely for the visual monitoring. But it has so much more monitoring options that it has its value in almost any use-case. But the amount of checks/month for their current price point made it an absolute no brainer Cons It's still in a early stage so I wasn't to happy to manually add each monitor but, it's currently on the roadmap to make that easier. Alternatives considered [Ghost Inspector](https://www.capterra.com/p/156853/Ghost-Inspector/)[ChangeTower](https://www.capterra.com/p/194874/ChangeTower/) Reason for choosing Hexowatch user to setup and use, better pricing for the features I need.

It is reliable, easy to use, and very affordable. The customer support is also excellent, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable website monitoring tool. Pros Hexowatch is an intuitive and comprehensive website monitoring tool that allows users to easily monitor website uptime, response time, and performance. It offers a range of features such as real-time alerts, detailed reports, and customizable dashboards. It also provides 24/7 customer support and is extremely affordable. Cons The main drawback of Hexowatch is that the tool is limited to monitoring only websites and not other web-based applications. Additionally, the reporting features are not as comprehensive as some of the more expensive competitors. Switched from [Reportei](https://www.capterra.com/p/180418/Reportei/)[Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/) Hexowatch is an excellent choice for website monitoring due to its intuitive interface, detailed reports, and customizable dashboards. Additionally, it is more affordable than many of its competitors, making it an excellent value for money. Finally, the 24/7 customer support provides peace of mind that any issues can be quickly addressed. Review Source Response from Hexact January 30, 2023 Thank you for your Valuable Feedback Teng W. Chief Problem Solver Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Website monitoring" September 25, 2020 3.0 Overall, Hexowatch is alright. It's easy to setup monitoring, you'll just need the choose the type of monitoring you want and the URL of the page. As mentioned, AI monitoring obviously needs some enhancement. Pros Various available ways to monitor a website; whether it's your own website, client's, or competitors. For web agencies, these are useful. Types of monitoring includes; uptime, HTML, content, tech used, AI, and WhoIS info. Cons Their AI monitoring is still pretty un-useable after 2-3 months. Sending alerts although the site it monitors is fine. My guess is, it still can't work out sliders well.

Founder Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Flexible monitoring tool that saves you a ton of time" October 1, 2020 5.0 Hexowatch is one of those tools where once you begin using it, you can't imagine life without it. In particular, it saves me a lot of time and increases accuracy when it comes to visually comparing WordPress web pages after applying updates. Pros The feature most useful for my business is the visual monitor. It allows me to watch any number of web page for visual changes and then get notified when those changes exceed a certain percentage (called sensitivity). After a change occurs, you can use their slick before/after slider to see exactly what's different. There is also a highlighter graphic that superimposes the before/after states to give you an alternative way of seeing what's changed. It's really quite clever and I've never seen anything on the market like it. Cons There are a few UI/UX improvements I would like to see. For example, the Monitored URLs window doesn't show tags or allow for bulk edits. Since I spend most of my time here, I'd also like to see a better summary of each page monitor without having to click/expand each one. I do however feel it's only a matter of time before additional UI/UX improvements are made. The Hexowatch team is responsive and the software has already improved much since I first started using it.

Hexowatch is an AI-powered website monitor. It can detect changes within minutes, it is fast and very accurate, it has saved me hours of work and a lot of money! It's worth gold. Pros Light and dark mode interface User-friendly interface Different types of monitoring for all types of users Constant updates Easy to follow user guides Very attentive support Cons Everything works perfectly. I would like to add WhatsApp notifications Review Source Response from Hexact September 30, 2021 Great thanks Alexis, much appreciated! Beau B.

September 29, 2020 4.0 Don't today's rough edges, keep you from a fantastic product tomorrow! Consistent up-dates! If you experience rough edges, I'm certain that they won't be rough for very long. Hexowatch is quickly maturing. If you don't buy today, when you come back after a few months, it will have gotten much, much better (I'm not implying that it is bad, actually, it's the opposite! It's really good...). What I am saying, is that you'll likely find that you've missed out on some great prices while they launched the product. Pros I like knowing that I can keep toe-to-toe with my competition, checking their websites for price changes, new services or just keeping track of how their website has changed, perhaps signaling a major change in my competitors online strategy. I also like that I can keep an eye on my partners websites, ensuring their backlinks stay correct with the right anchor text. I even use Hexowatch to monitor my obligations with external links to my partner sites. It's a dead simple way to make sure that your backlinks are always powered up and active. Cons There are several little usability features that could be implemented, like for example, bulk editing. Or the ability to edit the entire monitor (currently, once you save a monitor, and need to make a change later, only some of the options are available to edit.) That said - it's really only a matter of time before these minor gripes will be addressed. The team at Hexowatch are always pushing out great new features and squashing bugs. So, don't let a few little usability issues lead you astray - be patient, and I'm sure they will be taken care of in no time. In my few weeks with Hexowatch, I feel that this is the software to add to your collection, especially while the prices are really favorable! It will be on of those solution, that once it matures - it will be a stellar, stound-out product that you managed to grab when the price was affordably low!

Group Safety Health Environment & Quality Specialist Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Essential Time & Money Saving Swiss Army Knife" October 3, 2020 5.0 Pros The HTML Element and Visual Content monitoring functionality has saved me a huge amount of time as my job requires me to monitor a huge number of regulator websites for the smaller changes which are often not captured by the larger legal tracking services. As a bonus with this tool I get a notification and a comparison / record (with changes highlighted) of the state of the page before and after . The tool also has also saved money by allowing me to work out when and what times suppliers were changing their prices (Html element monitor allowed me to see a pattern as to when was the best time to buy as some vendors change prices hourly). There are lots of different monitoring types covering everything from Visual, HTML elements, Keywords, Automatic AI Monitoring and more. Weekly feature updates and new features and very responsive developers. Web based so no need to install software. Cons The product is still in its infancy and although the html element monitor works a treat for tracking values and prices a dedicated pricing monitor with graphing functionality would be welcome.

Owner Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for monitoring everything on the Internet!" October 30, 2022 4.0 It's very useful when it comes to monitor competitor prices, check technology changes on sites, any visual change etc. Pros Easy to setup new monitors. Support is quite responsive and helpful! Cons Visual changes can be hard to get right when small things differ and it gets triggered all the time. Usability wise it could be better when it comes to manage existing monitors. Review Source Response from Hexact October 31, 2022 Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Much appreciated. Brandon T. VP Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lots of great data with a little learning curve" February 28, 2023 4.0 It's difficult to keep up with meaningful changes to competitors offering, message and position. Hexowatch makes it easy to keep track of a lot of details about the market, without a lot of work.One benefit I had is that I found a competitor started a partner program by seeing it appear in the footer of their site. I would have probably missed that if not for Hexowatch. Pros Hexowatch is a convient way to keep an eye on your own site, and competitors with a lot of detail. I like that I can get so much detail on competitor sites using AI Monitoring Tool, much more than I was before when I used followthatpage. Cons I found there was a bit of a learning curve. The basic setup is easy, but there are many options for each monitor and most don't have clear documentation or the UI is not obvious so I wasted some credits in learning to set it up.Also the repot on content change comes as one huge content blok so it's a little difficult to tell what text changes.

Demand Gen Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Much more than a monitoring tool, a competitive weapon of choice" September 25, 2020 5.0 Super easy to set up, regular updates a new features, super responsive developer. Really innovative tool and original positioning on the market. Pros The ability to monitor all the competitor websites of interest I need to spy on and keep track of each changes made by clients on their website. There is many monitoring tools on the market but nothing like Hexowatch on the market right now. It can be used as an uptime monitoring tool but that's not its main purpose. It is its capacity to gather insights that is really staggering. Want to now when a private sell will open? Boom, you'll receive a real time notification to tell you when it happens. Want to know your next competitor move or digital marketing strategy? Boom you'll be able to know instantly when they update their page. Want to monitor your website uptime, Hexowatch can do this too. You can track keywords, html code change on any page, have a visual comparison between changes, pretty neat and well thought of. The UI is very clear and intuitive. Cons Nothing. It's super handy. Works as advertised and the developer is very responsive, updating it regularly.

Freelance writer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An outstanding product" September 25, 2020 5.0 I came to Hexowatch on the recommendation of several people after asking in a facebook group. They were not wrong, it is the best monitoring tool I have tried so far. The monitoring that Hexowatch does is so detailed that at the beginning you have to test until you find the percentage of change you want to be warned about. I didn't like very much the tutorials they have, but every time I have contacted user support, they have helped me to solve my doubts. Great tool in which I have great expectations for the for the future. Pros What I like most about Hexowatch is the multiple monitoring options. You can literally monitor what you want from a website. It's a solid product, very easy to use, that gives you just what you need. Unlike other tools that start adding meaningless functionality, Hexowatch focuses on a single purpose and offers a tool that can hardly be found to be flawed. Cons I wish there were more explanatory videos on how to use all the options of the tool. I think the Hexowatch team should continue to work on creating better tutorials.

Pros Hexowatch is really easy to use and it's possible to track almost anything. We have loads of shops and a lot to monitor, so Hexowatch is a welcome addition to our setup. We've previously used a similar monitoring tool which we found very limited, where as Hexowatch has great features and is very active in adding more features and listening to feedback. Cons I would like to schedule tests within different timeperiods, so it's not static like every 30 minutes or every day, but instead say: "Test every 30 minutes between 8am and 8pm". That's about it. Switched from [Ghost Inspector](https://www.capterra.com/p/156853/Ghost-Inspector/) Hexowatch has more features.

Worth the investment Pros Amazing cloud Software !! I might not be using it to its full extent at present but You need to understand instead of keeping a human eye on things ,you have more important things to do. With this you get you an e-mail something has changed. Set the time monitor and away you go , you can monitor Special offers, News on travel Visa , yes updates to restrictions or relaxing restrictions. Even if think oh I’ll never use it ,I bet later you will say .Oh I wish bought that now It’s a investment and useful investment at that . Cons All I can say is that at present it does what says on the tin , surely you have heard that saying :) Review Source Response from Hexact October 19, 2020 Thank you for your Valuable Feedback!

Can't go wrong with it. Pros Great for monitoring just about anything related to website. From competitor's promotions to your backlinks or even own website. Cons Team member features. Even more documentation and use cases would help a lot. Review Source Response from Hexact October 19, 2020 Thank you for your Valuable Feedback BF Brian F. Project Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Game Changer for Web Developers" October 3, 2020 5.0 Pros This is a game changer for anyone that develops or hosts websites. It monitors websites for changes in numerous ways including visual changes, HTML, keyword, technology, content, WHOIS, and others. So it will basically keep an eye on a website for you. The functionality works well for people that update the plugins or software of a website - with Hexowatch I can update WordPress plugins and Hexocwatch will automatically notify me if the plugins break a page, game changer! Cons Nothing really. There is a small learning curve, but that is expected with any SAAS. However, it is very intuitive. Review Source Response from Hexact October 19, 2020 Thank you for your Valuable Feedback Brian! SH Steven H. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Solid Tool " September 27, 2020 5.0 So far Hexowatch has exceeded my expectations. Now I can set and forget monitors on my competitor's websites and know when they're making new offers or changing terms. It's hard to calculate how much money this tool has made for me but I'm sure it's more than the price of the software. Pros I really like the clean dashboard. There are lots of choices for how often and what to monitor. Setup is simple and features are laid out intuitively in an easy-to-understand format. Other tools I've tried were a lot harder to get working the way I wanted. An option to pause after the 1st detected event prevents too many alerts, which is really distracting. I also think having choices of the default server location will provide more overall reliability. And with regular updates it's been a relief knowing this app won't be abandoned like some other newcomers in this field were. Cons It might be nice if there was an option to get a call or SMS when changes happen. Review Source Response from Hexact October 19, 2020 Thank you for your Valuable Feedback Steven Josecar P. Digital Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the best solutions I have ever used" September 25, 2020 5.0 I can save time with the automatic system that checks multiple elements (Whois, HTML, visual changes...) on any website so I'm free to do other more important stuff. Pros What I like the most is its fast development, responsive support, and that it works. They also include webhooks that is a must for automation, so I'm really happy with it till the date. Cons I really like it. It's not perfect (who is?) but they are very new and they are constantly getting better so no remarkable bad points.

Marketing Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Like a cheat code for your business" September 25, 2020 4.0 Pros I only learned software like this exists when I learned about Hexowatch a few weeks ago - but it's like a swiss army knife for monitoring frequently visited sites/pages. There are a lot of use cases but personally I use it to get alerts on domain name expirations or DNS changes and track RFP postings. Cons Tuning parameters for certain types of monitoring is limited - for instance, if you are monitoring whois changes, you can only run checks every few hours as opposed 5 minute intervals for other monitoring types. The UI is simplistic and functional, not necessarily the most beautiful or easiest to use - but it works. All in, it's a product in its early stages but it seems like the team is very responsive to feedback and implements changes rapidly, so I'm confident in its development.

Manager Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic tool to streamline your business research and monitor your competitors" September 29, 2020 4.0 Before Hexowatch I was having to do research manually. As I implement new monitors, I’m hoping to streamline the research process significantly. Pros Hexowatch is an impressive tool that allows you to monitor any website for visual, content or code changes. This is really helpful if you are trying to track what tools your competitors are using, if they have new employees, added certain keywords to their website as well as many other points of data. My main use case is for lead generation. With Hexowatch I can quickly get a snapshot and see if potential clients have added new members to their team. Outside of its uses i’m really impressed with how quickly Hexowatch has been implementing new features. They now offer multi-element monitoring and you can specify a date/time when a monitor should start/end. I’m especially excited about the webhooks feature and Hexowatch v2 launching soon. Cons Overall Hexowatch is a solid tool, but I have a few items on my wishlist. I would love to see more direct integrations, especially with CRMs. This would be really helpful for pushing potential leads to the CRM when a certain criteria is met. Reason for choosing Hexowatch Cost Review Source Response from Hexact October 19, 2020 Thank you Dave, the suggestion noted SL Sean L.

Pros I had been looking for something like this to help me monitor client websites and competitor websites to ensure our SEO, messaging, CRO and offerings remained competitive and so we could take advantage of changes as quickly as possible. I hadn't found anything that met my needs and had a fair price point, but Hexowatch stepped in and now it's one of the top tools I use for my campaigns. Cons The main things would be to see more features roll out, have more options to add individual features a la carte, and to have a bit more guidance when setting up some of the trickier monitoring items.

This is young company that is committed to developing and supporting it's products and customers. Pros Hexowatch greatly reduces the amount of time that I was spending having to manually monitor the websites and product pages of partner companies that we work with. Cons Many of the companies that we work with sell through Amazon. Unfortunately, Amazon prevents Hexowatch from monitoring certain pages that I would like to track. Unless Amazon changes it's policies, I don't think much can be done about this. Review Source Response from Hexact July 31, 2020 Thank you for the feedback Doug EK Emad K.

Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Must have website monitoring tool" December 8, 2021 5.0 We already had an uptime monitoring tool and were quite satisfied with it. But then we discovered Hexowatch and now we can't go back. There are so many use cases we didn't even think about before... It expanded massively our way of monitoring and keeping online our customer's systems. And it became even more critical for our customers running paid ads campaigns. Pros It's not just your regular uptime monitoring tool. It's much more than that. You can monitor any kind of global or local changes on your webpage. For instance, with a Wordpress website, Hexowatch can check that your HTML code isn't altered over time by core/theme/plugin updates. We also have to maintain event pages where only the date will change over time. Hexowatch can monitor just that part of the page (with the date) and alert us when the new event goes online. If someone on the team publishes the page right away by accident instead of scheduling it, we'll get an alert immediatly, preventing costly mistakes. There are a lot more advanced monitoring scenarios that we can only deploy quickly and easily with Hexowatch. Cons We don't use it for simple uptime monitoring as it's a pretty expensive tool if you compare it to it's competitors on a "number of checks" basis.

Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Better than the rest!" May 13, 2024 5.0 I have found Hexowatch surprisingly easy to get setup and have been using for around 2 weeks now. I had a couple of rendering issues on a site but the team soon assisted me in tweaking the settings to let the page load fully before checking. Great product with a great price and great support. Pros The number of options available within visual monitoring is great and you can interact with all elements of a webpage to monitor exactly what you need. Cons To be honest I am hunting for a problem here but there wasn't really one. Only thing that might be nice I guess would be a phone call or SMS notification if percentage of page change is beyond a certain threshold and remains that way for a couple of checks. Reason for choosing Hexowatch Hexowatch was the first product I found that covered (easily) blocking element of a page, scrolling and clicking elements on the page to produce the required result I need.
